Why is Jonathan Ive
influential?

The senior vice-president of design at Apple is the man many suspect to be the true visionary of the company. Jonathan Ive is the man responsible for giving us the iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad, so it’s safe to say he’s impacted the world in a pretty significant way. His stark, minimalist design aesthetic has become standard across the board, and has influenced not only product design but home and retail design, as well. Perhaps no technological innovation has changed the game as much as the iPhone, and as the recent hoopla surrounding the release of Apple’s redesigned operating system, iPhones and iPads prove, Ive’s influence hasn’t waned.
